We Both Laughed In Pleasure:

The Selected Diaries of Lou Sullivan (1961-1991)

edited by Ellis Martin (he/him) 

& Zach Ozma (he/him)

The Gender Creative Child, by Diane Ehrensaft, PhD

We Both Laughed In Pleasure: The Selected Diaries of Lou Sullivan narrates the inner life of a transgender gay man moving through the shifting social, political, and medical mores of the second half of the 20th century. Sullivan kept comprehensive journals from age 11 until his AIDS-related death at 39. Sensual, lascivious, challenging, quotidian and poetic, the diaries complicate and disrupt normative trans narratives. Entries from twenty-four diaries reveal Sullivan’s self-articulation and the complexity of a fascinating and courageous figure.
